Wireless analog passive sensors | In one embodiment, a method is disclosed in which an analog sensor receives an electromagnetic (EM) wave (e.g., a radio frequency signal) from an interrogation device. The sensor converts a biological measurement of a subject into an electrical resistance and modulates a response to reflect the incident signal based on the electrical resistance. The sensor then provides the response to the interrogation device that corresponds to the biological measurement. | 10405746 |
Multilayer Additive Printed Circuit | Additive printing circuit allows development of electronic Syracuse on various non- traditional substrates including flexible, bio compatible, and biodegradable materials. However, traditional editor printing circuit is limited to single layer printing. This invention allows printing of multiple layers of conductive traces separated by additively printed insulation layers, does it enables development of complex multilayer printed circuit build (PCB) using Attitude printing technology on various substrates , as well as development of variety of printed passive electronic components including capacitor , inductor, resistor , etc. After printing the bottom conductive trace layer, multi coated insulation layer was printed with additive printing technology except the via regions with some safety allowance and cavity for probing or discrete component placement, then the via regions were printed with multiple coating to fill up the via cavity, and then the top conductive trace was printed with multiple coatings. This process can be repeated to develop multiple layers of conductive traces sandwiched by appropriate insulation layer. 3D passive components can also be built such as magnetic solenoid. This breakthrough will lead to multilayer electronic circuit development of wearable, disposable and implantable sensors, systems, and actuators. | 10182499 |

Light Weight Flexible Temperature Sensor Kit | The invention is a thin sensor film that is capable of indicating temperature and an associated sensor readout kit that illuminates the sensor film and detects the return fluorescence for analysis to determine temperature. The sensor film may be detached and reattached in order to be reused. The initial design achieves high sensitivity and accuracy in the range of interest to biologistics and can potentially address temperatures ranging from -200◦C to 300◦C. A variation of the invention allows for the use of optical fibers for measurements of surfaces inside enclosures. | 11047747 |
Fully Reconfigurable Modular Body-Worn Sensors | This invention is a sensor level modular and fully reconfigurable EEG system along with other body-worn sensors that will allow Lego-like connectivity of multi-modal sensors on the body. this is achieved by elimination of the DRL circuit from the traditional EEG (and ECG) circuit design with a new analog front end design that is independent for each channel. Consequentially, a system is envisioned where the number of EEG channel (sensor nodes) can be one or many, independent of the design, and can be customized at the time of deployment in a Lego-Like fashion. Subsequently, such system can incorporate any type of body worn sensors with the network. Additionally, the sensors can be equipped to perform some computation on the local sensor data that will enable distributed intelligence. The outcomes will enhance capabilities of neurological and physiological data collection at natural environments | 10973430 |
